Committed but not signed? Maybe we can swoop in?View attachment 735539
Lane kiffin been reading Volnation recently. They gotta baller.
my guess would be doubtful but who knows. I wonder how much his NIL deal would be. Can’t be crazy high for a d2 guy coming to FBS. Ole Miss does have qbs that have waited for dart to leave. He could see our room being easier to win the starting job with how young/inexperienced gmac and merklenger are rn.Committed but not signed? Maybe we can swoop in?
I completely get what you’re saying, but What if one of the prospects we want decides to call us before we called them? Or what if someone absolutely out of the blue loves the idea of being the Tennessee quarterback and initiates the conversation ?I don't think KSU, Baylor, or the rest of the country will see it that way. We will, rightfully, be called hypocrites for poaching another high profile player by the entire national media should it happen. No amount of mental gymnastics on our side will change that.
There's nothing hypocritical about it. Everyone will expect this to happen and understand.I don't think KSU, Baylor, or the rest of the country will see it that way.

No, it's not exactly. If the reports are accurate, Nico secretly shopped himself around in December to see if he could find an offer in order to pressure Tennessee into giving him a huge salary increase and even threatened to not play in the CFP game. When Tennessee didn't budge, he stayed with the program through the Spring, waited until a couple days prior to the O&W game, then demanded a raise of nearly double what he was getting while apparently shopping himself around again for other deals. When Tennessee failed to cave in to his financial demands, he no showed practice without any communication to coaches, ignored communication attempts from the coaching staff, then eventually notified his OC via text message that he was going into the portal. I get your general sentiment and don't completely disagree but you seem to be excluding quite a bit of components to the story that are really more significant issues than if he had simply contacted another team expressing interest in potentially transferring.That's exactly what Nico did, no?
Cool story. So you think staying put and not adding a guy is the right move? You think if Merk and Mac aren’t ready to go we should just flush the season right? Do you think White, Heupel, Spyre, any of the players in that locker room are good with just letting this season go?I don't think KSU, Baylor, or the rest of the country will see it that way.

Some people are so silly! We have a HUGE opportunity to upgrade….Lets get it done and I don’t care who’s feelings we hurt. GBO!Cool story.

Glad the coaches don’t act like fans like you. You seem to think just any starting QB can just come in here and be an upgrade. Hurt feelings? lol. Heupel has to think about team chemistry and the locker room. The attitude in the locker room cost us a win against SC in 2022.Some people are so silly!

Not any QB, but I can list 5 right now that would be, and that's not even considering G-mac or J-merk. The truth is Nico was way overrated.. he should have been benched after the Florida game.Glad the coaches don’t act like fans like you. You seem to think just any starting QB can just come in here and be an upgrade. Hurt feelings? lol. Heupel has to think about team chemistry and the locker room.

And how do you know another QB is gonna come in here and beat out Merk? Oh that’s right you don’t.
That doesn't make us hypocrites. No one is attacking UCLA or Tulane(lol) or UNC. The player made a locker room choice by walking out of obligations.That's exactly what Nico did, no?
Lol…thanks coach couch!Glad the coaches don’t act like fans like you. You seem to think just any starting QB can just come in here and be an upgrade. Hurt feelings? lol. Heupel has to think about team chemistry and the locker room. The attitude in the locker room cost us a win against SC in 2022.
